Wood hatch

[Monica Platt <wordpro@ix.netcom.com>]

Here's a trick to make a wood hatch that'll work most of the time.
Hatch the area with ANSI 32 (or 31) with HatchType - No Outline, and 
then change the line type of the hatch to Waterline.  (I think this 
line type came with Manduras Productivity Pack.)  The line spacing 
should be a little less than the diagonal dim. of the area you're 
hatching.  The lines on the corner that are to short will come out 
straight, but if they're short enough it won't matter.

Changing the line type of a hatch can give some interesting effects. I 
also use ANSI 38, at a 315 degree angle, change the line type to 
dashed, and it gives a great shingle effect. And It'll keep a pen 
plotter busy for hours!

My wish list vote - A universial UNDO button, and not just one or two 
setps, I'd like to keep going back. (like that other CAD program)
